I was given this image from my program advisor to see if I could cut it for her.I'm not sure who made it for her, but she scanned it and sent it to me in a pdf.I finally managed to get it into my torchmate software, I used the scan tool trace option and cleaned up the drawing quite a bit, but I can't manage to get the bottom of the paws and the back leg to join the rest of the fox. With that said, these aren't the dxf's, because I couldn't figure out how to share that. I actually had a different dxf of a fox and I made the sign to see if she liked it, but I would love to know what i was doing wrong.http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/EasyKill_2006/Hoys%20Image.png

Turns out I can't even post a regular img. Photobuck wouldn't let me paste the img so I'll have to figure this part out to. I will try again. Any pointers or help will be appreciated. I'll try to post better later today after I get some sleep.

Low resolution - that would be a file to hand trace and recreate the text. You're not doing anything wrong except auto trace just doesn't always work. At the very least you'd have to use a raster editing program to draw in the parts that are much lighter and clean up the noise.

Okay, I've tried for hours to do this myself, but I just can't seem to get the gray banner to show up when I trace it. I have a couple in my class, she's having a grill made for her husbands truck for valentines day. She wanted to include a banner like this one. I actually found a 3rd ranger battalion in dxf, but when I tried to edit it, the lettering looked awful. I tried to clean this one up it up in the only photo editor I have on my school laptop. I tried to download some programs that were recommended in other threads and the one rdj357 used in his demo video, but I do not have admin privileges so I can't.

If there's anyway I could get some help I would really appreciate it. If he wasn't a vet, I would be a lot less likely to work with the deadline, but he is so I thought I would ask.

Thank you in advance,Ray

I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I can't open the file. It looks my computer up every time. I went to other dxf files thinking it might be the program, but it opened them all fine. Any suggestions?

Looks like you need to scale it up.My machine would not cut it as is either. I didn't follow it through and check that the paths would fit and could not tell you how to with your software, sorry! Make it bigger should cut.
